How to Service and Repair Camshaft Bearings on Dodge Ram 2500?

For initial bearing maintenance, check the inside size of each bore and keep in mind that the No.1 bore can have no bushing installed for a dimension within 54.089 min. and up to 54.1645 max. mm or 2.1295 min. to 2.1325 max. inch. In case the worst bore for the camshaft bushings is over the limit, replace that service bushing and then check the rest of the camshaft bores for any faults or wear. If the bores without a bushing are worn beyond the limit, both a new bushing and a fresh combustion chamber must be installed after the engine is removed for machining. First, take out the camshaft and then remove the bushing from No.1 bore with a universal cam bushing tool. Position the cylinder block after putting a mark where the oil hole lines up with the oil hole in the bushing. Once you have the new bushing, put Loctite 640 Adhesive on its back and make sure none of it goes into the oil hole. Install the bushing with a universal tool so that is is flush with the forward end of the cylinder block; check that the oil hole is properly aligned for a 3.2 mm (0.128 inch) rod to pass through. Check after installing the bushing that the hole is smaller than 54.133 mm (2.1312 inch) or you may risk seal failure.

How to Remove and Install a Camshaft Bearing on Dodge Ram 2500?

Before removing the camshaft bearing, ensure the engine is completely apart and drive out the rear cam bearing core plug. Attach the correct size adapters and horseshoe washers supplied with C-3132-A at the rear of each bearing shell to remove each bearing shell. Slide the camshaft bearing shell over the corresponding adapter, with the Camshaft Bearing Remover/Installer Tool C-3132-A. Put the rear bearing in the tool, add the horseshoe lock and gently drive the shell in by reversing how you removed the old bearing. Place all the bearings into the crank at the designated positions, making certain they are lined up so the oil passing through the bearings is in the same position as the main bearing's passageways. Should the alignment of the oil holes on the camshaft not be exact, take the bearing shell out, line them up, then put them back in correctly. Once all is done, position a new plug in the rear core hole of the camshaft, making certain it's sealed.
